A towering presence from Sweden is set to test himself on North American ice.
Carl-Otto Magnusson, a 6’7”, 223-pound defenseman with a frame built for the rigors of the modern game, has earned an invitation to the Detroit Red Wings’ training camp ahead of the upcoming season.
The news, confirmed by his agent Randy Edmonds on social media, offers the undrafted 19-year-old a rare opportunity to measure his game against professional competition.
Though ineligible to sign with Detroit this year, Magnusson’s camp appearance will serve as both an audition and an education. Passed over in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, he now has the chance to leave an impression that could open doors in seasons to come.
